Except for their strong arm tactics forcing software companies to not be able to sell their games cheaper on other platforms: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articl

  Not that I defend all of Valve’s business practices, but last I heard, you’re only prevented from sell games cheaper on other platforms if the thing you’re selling is Steam keys. AFAIK, this restriction doesn’t apply if you’re distributing via a different market place. If that’s true, that seems fair since you’re relying on Valve’s infrastructure to support the sale.

    Is that a thing anymore? Humble Bundle 100% does both, sells games cheaper and redeemable through Steam keys, and has been doing so for many years.

      Humble bundle might have a deal with them, given the charitable nature and also how long-running it is.
